Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the consistency of immune response to three different lots of GSK's investigational varicella vaccine (VNS Vaccine), and to compare the safety and immune response of VNS vaccine to an already approved varicella vaccine (VV) known as Varivax. The study will be conducted in healthy children aged 12 to 15 months, who have neither contracted varicella nor received a varicella vaccination.

Any other age-appropriate vaccine may be given starting at Visit 2 and anytime thereafter.

\*If emergency mass vaccination for an unforeseen public health threat (e.g., a pandemic) is organized by public health authorities outside the routine immunization program, the time period described above can be reduced provided it is used according to the local governmental recommendations and sponsor is notified

* Up to 90 days prior to the study intervention administration:
* For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone equivalent \>=0.5 mg/kg/day with maximum of 20 mg/day for pediatric participants. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.
* Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or plasma derivatives.
* Up to 180 days prior to study interventions administration: long acting immune-modifying drugs including among others immunotherapy (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-inhibitors), monoclonal antibodies (except the ones not interfering with the immune response to the study vaccines, e.g., nirsevimab), antitumoral medication.
* Previous vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella.
* Previous vaccination against hepatitis A virus.
* Previous vaccination against varicella virus.
* Only for children in countries where PCV is recommended at 12 to 15 months of age as per national immunization schedule and provided as part of the study interventions, participant who previously received a booster dose of any PCV.
* Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the participant has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational intervention (drug/invasive medical device).
* Child in care.
* Any study personnel's immediate dependents, family, or household members.
* Participants with the following high-risk individuals in their household:

* Immunocompromised individuals.
* Pregnant women without documented history of varicella.
* Newborn infants of mothers without documented history of varicella.
